newbie: does irq setting in device.hints work?

Hello. I come across device.hints manual which says I can set irq for
each device there. I am using 6.1.

The settings I made in devices.hints never worked. e.g.

hint.uhci.0.at="pci"
hint.uhci.0.irq="12"

I can set whatever value for irq and it always rebooted as irq 11.

However 'disabled="1"' works.

That's strange, I didn't find manual where it say it work in some
condition or for some device only.

Is there a way to assign uhci to use an irq differently? seems it is the
cause of an interrupt storm problem I am having.
